Ripple adds XRP payments to Stripe and Tempo’s AI standard in new developer kit
Ripple has updated its XRPL AI Starter Kit to support the Machine Payments Protocol and the Open Wallet Standard. This integration allows AI agents to perform automated transactions using XRP or Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin across various blockchain platforms.
Why it matters
This development facilitates the emerging 'machine-to-machine' economy, enabling autonomous software agents to handle micro-payments for data and computing resources.
Version 1.1 of the XRPL AI Starter Kit adds support for the Machine Payments Protocol, or MPP, and the Open Wallet Standard, which lets software manage wallets across multiple blockchains through a common interface, according to a RippleX developer post .
“Our job is to make XRP and RLUSD first-class options wherever developers are building,” RippleX head of product Jazzi Cooper wrote on X . RLUSD is Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin.
Ripple added support for x402, another standard for web payments, in June and MPP now, backing both rather than betting on either.
MPP gives an AI agent, software that can carry out tasks on a user’s behalf, a way to pay as it works. A service responds to a request with a price, the agent authorizes payment, and the service delivers the requested resource. Payments company Stripe and Tempo, a blockchain built for payments, co-authored the standard .
